The John Henners Gibble Medal and Other Prizes and Scholarships to Graded School.Scholars. The Salary Question .\gain. the Editor of The ftispatch; I read with interest the article which recently appeared ifi The .State nispatch in regard to “The Salary Syatero" for the County Officers, :'.nd was surprised to know that our coun ty officers had not Kiveii this inforraa- lioii to the public. I think thnt they she’d give the citizen.^i and taxpayer.s «f the county a full and complete itntement showin? what amount of s.ilary that has bc-eii paid to each county officer. Also what revenue the cowi'.ty has derived from e:',ch—in oth er words a full and conipk-tc stafe- ment. 1 have jn=t read in this week’s Burlii'.grton News an editerial headed •‘County Politics V*irniir.>? Up” and I quote from same: “The fact that the county officers are on a salary V>asis and that these »slaries are not bifr enough to offer any special inducement for a fight will prevent many frora wanting to serve the dear people. In fact, we believe that on this account the con test for county offices will be rather tame, as the present incumbents ar» not so anxious to hold on as to waew a very bitter fight to keep possession." Will the News be kind enoufrh to tell the people that when the State Dispatch was Sghting for this “Sal- System’” that the News opposed it. Also that every county officer— ridiculed this measure and stated on every stump that they personally favored salaries becauso they would jet more than they were then getting from the fee system; but for the j5xjd of the taxpayers of the county rtipy opposed the bill and hot for the strenuous fight put up by the Dis patch the old fee system would still be in force. We are anxiously avrait- ing for the News to give us the much iesired information and we trust that the News will give it in fail and in detail. CITIZEN.

Tile building, fronting on HilUboro road on the northern ed^re of the campus, between the Adnti:iisii*:ition Buildinji: and the new dov’iiilory, was erected in 1901 at a cost o!^ S’>0,000. The machinery in the buiidinjir cost at least 545,000. Ninety-five per ceJir. was donated by maniifact.urers of cotton oil machinery.

When asked of the vatue of buildifig- and contents, he almost choked, thirikinjr of the labor of love it represented. At 3:")0, the entire structure, with tho exceptioii of the soothwest corner had been jjutted by the fierce flames.

The tall to the Raleigh fire department was given ns soon as possible and the steamer was carried with hose wagon to the scene. When the two streams of stronfi pressure was turned on the roaring build'Jig the lire was at its height. The high tower, upon which many baseball and football scores had ben painted, soon caught. The fireme.n aided by students who used the college hose turned their attep- tion to saving the extreme end of the building and some of the machin ery. After burning about an hour part of the western wall collapsed and there was no probability of sav ing any of the walls. What part of them do not fall daring the day will certainly not be of any use in the rebuilding. WATER PRESSURE BAO.
